Ocean Calls Creek Wet

Some people on the internets have been joking about a picture of Kellyanne Conway kneeling on a White House couch in shoes. At least one reporter is very upset that people are wasting their time on something silly:
Conway is kneeling on the couch. Other pictures of the same moment show she has her shoes on.
This has, of course, inflamed the (mostly liberal end of the) Internet.
THE HORROR.
SHE IS DISRESPECTING THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
HOW COULD SHE.
And so on and so forth.
This tempest in a teapot is, in a word, dumb. In two words: incredibly dumb.
So, who is the rigorous policy reporter who is enraged that this has caused a few jokes a yooge avalanche of coverage, distracting people from what really matters?

You may remember Chris Cillizza from such examples of Writing About Real Issues rather than Pretending to be Outraged by Inane Trivia as writing 50 stories about Hillary Clinton’s email server before the first Democratic debate.
Next, we will hear from Maureen Dowd about highly-compensated pundits who engage in repetitive, puddle-deep pop-psych rather than writing about important issues.
